[License-discuss] Status of earlier AFL licenses?

[McCoy Smith]

Since that's Larry Rosen's license, he'd probably know best. I talked to him
last week, should I ping him? I think he's on this list.
I think what probably happened is the older versions got superseded in favor
of the newer versions, although typically that's shown in the superseded
list.
